Obama Axes AIDS Relief Funding to Church in South Africa

Obama Parables for the Progressive Era

(NC Register) Most everyone knows how really efficient inefficient government is at doing anything, which is why one must ask, why is the Obama Administration changing a program that has worked effectively for a decade?

The Obama Administration has quietly stopped funding AIDS–relief programs in South Africa organized by the Catholic Church, handing the money instead over to the government.

President George W Bush launched ‘President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief’ (PEPFAR) in 2003 which enabled money to go directly to the hands of field operators–many of whom belonged to the Catholic Church.

The program which has been supporting AIDS relief by the South African Bishops Conference for 10 years will end in June, 2014 and instead money will be given to the country’s Natl (Socialistic) Health Care System.
